To all whom t may concern:

4Be it Slrnow-n that il, yPAUL TRIPKE, citizen of'tlieUni-ted States, and'resident'of Jersey City, in the *county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and usetul Combined 'Egg Separatore and Beaters, :of which -thefollowing isa speciiication. f' j My invention Arelates `to a Vnew article of manufacture;v and fthe "object :is the combination of 'an egg separator beaterclosure and a beater or mixer mechanism, whereintthe closure isso shaped with egg-separator-formations that 'the :sepa-rationof the egg can or :may be performed without necessitating the Jreinoval of lthe beaterfor mixer mechanisni, thus ysavingy the time of handling and separating theparts for separate uses.

Referring 'to the rdrawings:

-.\lumeral^f3 lrepresents my new article of manufactureas adaptedto co-act withbeater or mixer-mechanisms, seeFigs. 1, fand 8 for example. i

This arti'cle ofzmanufacture comprises a closure or.coverianadepreferably of glass, although other materials can fbe used. f

ThesuraCe ofy this closure is integrally formed .with a l pluralityk of egg separatorformationswhich lcan yloe 'used 1n a variety of shapes to be clearly described hereafter.

-l`he :essential feature-*of my' vinvention is the- Varrangement .of `these egg separator-for-l mations around the--beaterfmechanism so as not to interfere with the operation of said y Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed December 20, 1915. VSerial No. 67,788`- mechanism, Athereby making it -possible to use one or'all of theformations 5 lf or'separating eggs without removing the beater mechanism or parts :thereofas has been the case with other constructions.

These egg-separator-formations 5 of `,the closure have all a similar construction Ias to the bowl or dish shape portion ;l but bowll'l, Fig. lis provided with vanfnilditfional lower bowl 12 formed in the centerfof "the-bottom 13 thereof. Y s f Thefbottom 1320i the bowl is pierced with oriices le (see all Egures,` except Fig. 5) which ymay be of anysize,-number or shape.

.When lower bowl 12 lis used orifices 14 :are formed around same in the extended portion of the bottomllsee-V Figs. l and A2.'

,I do not coniincmyself lto the number of egg-separatonformations 5 in said closure as one or more can and may befused accordllgto the size of the closure.

lusually provide the egg-separatonforbeater mechanism, .and allowV said lid `to` freely :turn around on same.

By turning these lids to the' right or left the formations Vof the closure will be coveredV or fclosedxagainst the beaten ormiXecl iiuid splashing up through :the oriiices on to the outside of the closure, duringthe operation of the beater mechanism.

1am aware that a' cover-'plate can be used lia'vinga centralfhole or opening for vpassing same over the beater"mechanism and covering the formations 5 of the closure.

Theclosure :thus'prov-ided with egg separater yformations '5 is' placedupon the-receptacle 18,'preferably made of glass, of any suitable shape.

As an illustration of how the closure 'can be securedon :thecontainer 158 l, in Figs. l and 3, have'shown the closureiedgefproprevents the 'closure-from l falling jo said to receive the spiral or twisted stein 23 of beater mechanism 2d, and in Figs. 3-c elongated to receive the spiral or twisted stem of the beater mechanism 27.

The twisted stem 23 is provided with beater arms 32 and is revolved by the traveling knob 33, suitably provided with actuating holes 34 (see Fig. 5)I which give the rotary motion to the beater mechanism by traveling up and down on said stem 23.

rEhe beater mechanism 27 in F ig. 3 is operated by taking hold of the handle 35 pivotally mounted on the twisted stem 26 which is provided with a dasherr36 having beat-er arms 37, and by reciprocating said rod up and down in the elongated slot 20 in the closure is given a rotary back and forth movement by coming in Contact with the walls of said slot.

To use my new article of manufacture place the closure e with its egg-separatorformations and particular beater mechanism on the container 18. Then open the formations 5 by shoving aside the covers 16, and break an egg over a formation so that its contents will fall into the same.

f an egg is broken over bowl 11 having a lower bowl 12 the yolk of the egg (being heavier) will settle in the said lower bowl and ll same, while the white portion being of less specific gravity will remain above and flow through the orices 14 into the container.

1f however the egg is broken over a formation without a lower bowl its contents will fall on the bottom of saine; the white of the egg will then pass downwardly through the orifices lei, while the yolk being of a more solid nature and compactly held together is prevented from passing through the orifices 14.

After the egg separation has been accomplished the closure is removed with its beater mechanism and the separated yolk poured out of the egg separator formations into any suitable vessel.

Then the closure with its beater mechanism is replaced on the container and secured if necessary.

The covers 16 are then closed over the formations 5 and the beater mechanisms operated in their particular manner, and the separated white of the egg in the container will thus be thoroughly beaten or mixed.

If the closure is not securely fastened to the container it is held down on same (when the beater mechanism is in operation) by thepressure of the hand (see Figs. 1-3).

lt will thus be seen from the foregoing description that the operation of any of the beater mechanisms do not interfere with the egg separating operation nor does the egg separating interfere with the beater mechinsonne anism operation, both being in location and operation independent of each other.

The parts can be easily separated for cleansing, which thereby renders the article highly sanitary.

By duplicating the formations 5 in the closure a speedier separation of the egg is accomplished-thus while waiting for a formation to separate an egg the other can readily be put into service or use.

l do not confine myself to the shape of the orices 14C in the bowls 8 as I am awaretliat other shapes can do the same work of separating the egg. ,A

Nor do 1 confine myself to the particular shape of the egg-separator-formations as I am aware other shapes will produce the same results. Nor do l conne myself to the particular beater mechanisms shown as I am aware others can be used. But what I claim is 1. A new article of manufacture, a beaterclosure provided integrally 0n its V'surface with a plurality of egg-separator formations, an orifice piercing said closurebetween said formations, a beater mechanism adapted to engage with and to Y be reciprocated through said orice, said beater mechanism arranged on said closure by said orificeso as to prevent interfering with the said formations in operation.. f

2. A new article of manufacture, the'combination of a beater-closure having an egg separator formation integrally formed inv f its surface, an orifice piercing said surface near said formation and a beater mechanism adapted to engage or co-act withsaid orifice, said beater mechanism arranged on said closure by said orice so as to prevent interfer-` ing with said formation in operation.
